Spare-Part Kit For Scuba Diving

Spare-Part Kit For Scuba Diving


Nothing is more frustrating as missing a day of diving because something insane like breaking a mask-strap and having no replacement. A small spare-Part Kit isn't costly and doesn't take a lot of space in your equipment bag but you minimize the probability of missing out on dives due to minor equipment problems like a broken Mask-strap.

Make your spare-kit by collecting the sundries that are most likely to wear out and break at the worst time. Store them together with a view tools in a moisture proof package in your equipment box or bag. Here a list for you to get you started:

1.) Fin straps - Have a pair of them, if one breaks, the other one is usually not far behind. If you carry two fin straps you should replace them at the same time.

2.) Mask strap - Carry a "fabric/Velcro" type in your spare kit. Those are "universal" and fit virtually all masks.

3.) O-Rings - carry some distinct types of O-Rings on a key-ring, good a carabiner, so you won't lose them, don't squeeze the O-Ring (like it can happen with a Key ring) and have fast and easy access.

4.) Silicone lubricant - Silicon grease is good than spray. Use the grease very sparingly. A small package will probably last you your whole diving career or until you lose it.

5.) pliers - good a plier-tool like a Leatherman or similar

6.) Adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, hex-keys

With gaining palpate you might add items to your scuba diving spare kit. If you have more space in your spare box, add some petition sickness medication, sunscreen (well sealed in a detach plastic bag) and some band-aid to it. Those are no spare-parts but very useful and you authentically don't want to be without them, even your dive-operator should have a first-aid kit always with his group.

Carrying those items with you is saving you and your dive buddy from the disappointment of a canceled dive. Operate them often to insure all parts are in good and usable status.
